Shairi Maine Ijad Ki

kaghaz marakashiyon ne ijad kiya

huruf fonishiyon ne

shairi main ne ijad ki

qabr khodne wale ne tandur ijad kiya

tandur par qabza karne walon ne roTi ki parchi banai

roTi lene walon ne qatar ijad ki

aur mil kar gana sikha

roTi ki qatar mein jab chyunTiyan bhi aa kar khaDi ho gain

to faqa ijad ho gaya

shahtut bechne wale ne resham ka kiDa ijad kiya

shairi ne resham se laDkiyon ke liye libas banaya

resham mein malbus laDkiyon ke liye kuTniyon ne mahal-sara ijad ki

jahan ja kar unhon ne resham ke kiDe ka pata bata diya

fasle ne ghoDe ke chaar panw ijad kiye

tez-raftari ne rath banaya

aur jab shikast ijad hui

to mujhe tez-raftar rath ke aage liTa diya gaya

magar us waqt tak shairi mohabbat ko ijad kar chuki thi

mohabbat ne dil ijad kiya

dil ne KHema aur kashtiyan banain

aur dur-daraaz ke maqamat tai kiye

KHwaja-sara ne machhli pakaDne ka kanTa ijad kiya

aur soe hue dil mein chubho kar bhag gaya

dil mein chubhe hue kanTe ki Dor thamne ke liye

nilami ijad hui

aur

jabr ne aaKHiri boli ijad ki

main ne sari shairi bech kar aag KHaridi

aur jabr ka hath jala diya
